By Guest BloggerIt’s been a long year leading up to this year’s State of the Union address. We’ve experienced a rollercoaster of moral lows, from a government shutdown resulting in suffering for government employees, to the heinous incidents of migrant children being ripped from the arms of their parents, and being tossed into cages as a means…
By Two families (that we know of) seeking asylum at the U.S. border have had to witness the death of their children under Customs and Border Protection (CBP) custody. Instead of questioning the immoral practices of the CBP that led to such horror, members of the Trump administration have blamed the parents of the children for…
By aishasalehIf we were to convince the Republican party that not allowing abortions was Sharia Law, I have no doubt that they would change their stance to Pro-Choice immediately. The reason I think it’s important to say this is because no matter how they shape their arguments around the subject matter, the truth is that the…
By President Trump’s second address to the United Nations General Assembly went down a little differently than his administration probably expected it to. This past Tuesday, President Trump commenced his remarks to the U.N. by boasting about what his administration had achieved over his almost-two year tenure as POTUS. “In less than two years, my administration…
By rhiannabeaumontSince Donald Trump’s inauguration, the western world has been more conflicted than ever over the leader of one of the most powerful countries in the world: America. With proven misogynistic views, controversial behaviour and a relentlessly inappropriate use of social media, many feel the election of Trump was a clear display of American bigotry still…
By Zain is a Kuwaiti mobile telecommunications company that released a commercial wishing its users a blessed Ramadan last month, receiving worldwide attention. The commercial shines light on the matter of Palestine and the continued occupation its people face, even during the month of Ramadan. It is not a shock that Kuwait released a commercial showing…
By I was in college when Trump was elected president. I remember going to sleep in utter shock after he had won the election, and waking up the next morning to go to class in a daze. There was a stillness in the air — like even the Trump supporters knew something was wrong with this…
By sarahahmedOn Tuesday night, President Trump delivered his first State of the Union Address. In his speech, he focused on employment growth and the economy, infrastructure, trade policies, immigration and national security. The address invoked a sense of unity, and bipartisanship, vastly differing from the gridlocked state that the government is currently in. Congressman John Lewis…
By Saira BhattiThe Trump administration made an official announcement on Jan. 8, 2018, to end TPS designation for El Salvador, which will officialy end on Sept. 9, 2019. This comes shortly after the administration’s decision on Nov. 20, 2017 to end TPS designation for Haiti, and after designation was removed for Nicaragua and Sudan. According to the Department of…
By Maysoon KhatibMoe Shama and his family are dispelling stereotypes through his creative videos using music and slapstick comedy routines to entertain and enlighten his audience. His “We Will Rock You” video went viral over night, and we think you will enjoy this interview, where he talks about Muslims in America, Donald Trump, misconceptions, and music. We…
By yelenalelThe internet has been Trumping for quite some time now. We all got Trumped: Latinos, Blacks, Asian, Muslims, poor and middle class. Latinos are rapists. Poor people are lazy. Muslims are terrorists. Even Bush had enough, and stated that Trump “will not insult his way into the presidency.” …Or will he? The polls are booming…
By Guest BloggerI’ve had to accept a lot of things in my life in just the short 24 years that I’ve been around. I’ve had to accept that I wouldn’t become a professional volleyball player who hangs out on the beaches of the world for a living (this one was ridiculous anyway). I’ve had to accept that…
